Sand Dune-Inspired Wall Panels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Gabriel Tan Designs the Sahara Wall Panels with Organic Lines

— October 22, 2024 — Art & Design
Designer Gabriel Tan is the creative mind behind the Sahara Wall Panel series. It is an acoustic wall panel that is defined by its protruding curved lines that are made with inspiration from the look of sand dunes. This is designed for the Swedish imprint Abstracta. The panels have organic shapes and are meant to add a visually unique finish to interiors while also contributing to their acoustic sounds.

The team shares, "The Sahara Wall Panel, designed by Gabriel Tan, is inspired by the soft, organic lines of desert sand dunes. Its shape is simple yet versatile, offering a starting point for creating a variety of patterns, from symmetrical and geometrically strict configurations to more dynamic, random formations that evoke the natural flow of sand dunes."
